I am now at one full week of constant coughing, which is much worse at night, so I’m functioning at about a 3/10. My house is a disaster. Do not come over.

Sunday;

After the baby stage, my children are excellent sleepers

Face smash

Passed out

Monday:

Explorer

My children would have been excellent pioneers

Torturing the baby a.k.a. pajamas

Tuesday:

I don’t even know what that is

Thinks he’s a real person who can sleep in my bed

Brotherly love

Wednesday:

The prettiest

Waiting room waiting

Mmmmmm bath water

Thursday:

This face perfectly expressed my mood this week

Caroline’s favorite show: Fashion Runway

Helping stuff diapers

Friday:

She tolerates him very well

HAI HAI MOM HAI

Friday nights are crazy around here

Saturday:

We taught Caroline tic-tac-toe so now they are excellent in restaurants

Couldn’t even wait for the car to eat her raspberry cream pastry

It finally looks like spring

I am hopeful that the week of rain we’re expecting will wash away whatever I’m allergic to and I will finally be able to sleep somewhere besides sitting up on the couch. It’s really exhausting. All I want to do is lie down completely flat and pass out for 12 hours. That was so much easier to do before I had all these kids. So many kids.

Fingers crossed I don’t actually cough up a lung. I need both of them.

It is now the worst part of the year, where it’s always winter but never Christmas. We haven’t had any remarkable snow yet, which would at least give us an at-home-jammies day and I could take the kids sledding to wear them out. Luckily they CLEARLY seem to be getting enough activity to be tired anyway.

There are a couple of snowflakes on my weather app for next weekend though, so I’m hopeful.

Pretend today is Sunday instead of Monday and this isn’t super late. Except that if it was Sunday I wouldn’t be getting this nice 60 minutes of quiet to watch Dateline repeats and blog because my baby decided sleeping was stupid and we spent the whole day outside trying to wear him (and the big kids) out. So just forgive me for being late.

Sunday:

It’s a whole set for playing while moms take photos

We agreed that painting pumpkins was OK even though TECHNICALLY it wasn’t October yet

Someone was really sure he didn’t need a nap last Sunday too

Monday:

ONCE AGAIN, not sleeping during assigned sleeping times

Checklist for the next house: Climbing Tree

This is why Linc still has his own room

Tuesday:

rain OH SO YOU WERE TIRED? I’M SHOCKED.

Yesssssssssss

Real Life Babywearing: Toddler lies on the floor next to my $350 wrap

Wednesday:

They like the rain because they love umbrellas

At least the cat like the new rug

Their relationship summarized in one photo

Thursday:

I’m sort of trying to sell some wraps, but I hate selling wraps so I’m not doing a great job.

That face is because he wants to be in the pool with the big kids (swim lessons)

My computer just decided NOW would be an ideal time to start acting up, so I’m going to go bang my head against a wall and moan. Seems like the best use of my time. I would really like it if things could just be NORMAL and BORING and AVERAGE for the rest of the week. Boring sounds really nice right now.

Schooooooooool’s out for summer! Caroline starts camp tomorrow AND she has her dance recital this week. She is going to be one tired girl by Saturday morning. I’m hoping that means she might sleep longer than 6 am.

Sunday:

For her last soccer game, Caroline played with the U8 team. She was half their size!

Swimmers

We all love #lakelife

Monday:

We worked on our Father’s Day presents, which are late because E was SUPPOSED to be at sea. Although we are much happier having him home.

Glitter, the herpes of craft supplies

We put in a chin up bar for wrap swings

Tuesday:

Little explorer

A+ dentist visit

Keeping the healthy baby away from the germs at his check-up

Wednesday:

I cleaned out my purse. That’s just the trash.

I think my cat is plotting to kill me

Ice cream weirdos

Thursday:

He always sleeps like this

He really loves his foot

Hanging out

Friday:

Baby friends!!!

Morning playdates are exhausting

Loooook at my fooooooot

Saturday:

I don’t know why.

Water break

Happy weekend!

E was supposed to be at sea but he is not, so we had a nice Father’s Day at the zoo followed by pulled pork and ice cream cake. The kids announced THEY had the best Father’s Day, so I think it was successful. I really like the kind of family fun day where no one has a giant meltdown and I get to eat ice cream cake.

Off topic: I got a Fitbit this week, and my desire to get to 10,000 steps a day has been GREAT motivation for me to move. I also really love that it’s giving me extra points in my Weight Watchers app, because ice cream cake.

The themes of this week are: Front Porch and Sleeping Baby. Those are sometimes related but not always. I’ve leveled up in babywearing this week too, with MULTIPLE back wrap naps.

Sunday:

Cream Cheese Face

The same cheese face, but with less cheese

I don’t know why he looks surprised, we were at Target

Monday:

Unimpressed at the grocery store

Helping me watch for the bus

My new favorite ridiculous pants

Tuesday:

I got your nose! No wait I don’t WHAT IS THIS THING IN THE WAY??

Still unimpressed, but awake

The dog he is very impressed with

Wednesday:

Christmas jams 4 EVER

This was an entirely unneccesary elevator ride

He did that to himself

Thursday:

Waiting room zombies

Linc was sleeping so we hung out in the car while Caroline had soccer. I felt like a bum but SLEEPING BABY.

Her cheeseburger’s so bright, she’s gotta wear shades

Friday:

Chatting with mom friends on the porch is boring for babies

He was showing her the school because she’ll go there next year too

The coolness of the sleeping baby is ruined by the arm in the sunglass reflection

Saturday:

Linc is not the step-and-repeat expert Caroline is yet.

This is not a very good picture but I love it so, so much. They’re closing the FAO Schwarz in New York and I’m so excited the kids got to visit.

New York wore him OUT

I have a severe case of the End Of Year Moms and almost no motivation to do anything besides take the kids fun places and drink iced coffees. I’m fighting hard to make it to June before I start letting the kids skip to go to the beach just because it’s too hot to sit on the couch with a baby on me. We have a lot of summer fun planned and I’m afraid we won’t have time for all the un-planned fun as well. This past weekend in NYC was a good start but we have a LOT more to do.

Be Social

Bonjour! No I'm not French, it just sounded fancy. Sorry for the confusion. I'm Suzanne, a 36-year-old mom, photographer, Navy wife, blogger, baker, and amateur at pretty much everything else. The stars of the show are Evan, born 4/5/09, Caroline, born 12/19/2010 and Lincoln, born 7/23/2014. The last bebeh is Finnegan, born 8/30/2016 so he's a toddler now but don't talk to me about that. We live in Connecticut and enjoy it very much except for most of February and March. You can find more of my photos (or even hire me!) over on my photography site, Ginger Snaps Pictures. I love hearing from you so if you have questions, stories or ideas to share, email me at bebehblog@gmail.com .
